Hi
I just can’t seem to get linux installed on my Ion A603 MiniPC.
I’ve tried Ubuntu10 Desktop;Xubuntu10 and OpenSUSE11 with no luck.
My MiniPC specs:
(2.5″ 80GB PATA Western Digital Drive, 1GB Memory,AMD Geode LX;Award BIOS,etc)
I get my Linux iso onto a USB Stick using USB Installer 1.5.6.
The MiniPC is then booted up from this USB Stick(there is no CD/DVD, MiniPC only has x4 USB Ports and I do not have an external CD/DVD drive)
Install screen comes up and when I select “Install Xubuntu onto Harddrive” the last message is see is “Running /scripts/casper-premount”
And there it hangs.
I suspect the kernel has issues with the PATA drive.
I’ve even tried booting off Rescuecd iso with no luck.
Please assist
